Event Rules & Guidelines

• Anyone feeling under the weather should remain home
• In order to have this as a recurring event, the picture below illustrates the best options for parking.  We cannot affect the business of other stores in the plaza, and highly encourage people to follow it so we can have this happen for years to come
• Tent doorswill be open at 9am for the show
• A  numbered list will be available outside in front of the SWE retail entrance at 5am to 9am.  This will be provided to allow attendees to grab coffee, be in the car, etc. instead of being camped outside for hours
• The numbered list is intended for each individual person to sign in themselves,notone person to sign themselves in and then friends, family, etc. who are not currently present at the time.  
• Please take record of your number in line for the 9am start time so we can get people in as efficiently as possible.   
• Attendees in the signed in list will be first ones allowed in.  Those not in line or in the immediate area by the tent at the 9am opening will  forfeit their spot.  
• Once attendees on the sign in list are finished, it will proceed as first come first serve in a normal line
• Anyone attempting to cut into the line or sneak in prior to their time in the tent will be sent to the back or not allowed into the show entirely 
• Builders will place their own limits on the amount of plugs that can be purchased by one individual 
• The event is planned to last from 9am-3pm, however the plug show itself may end sooner due to builders and vendors selling out. In store specials will continue until 3pm.
• Vast majority if not all builders/vendors will be cash only
• SWE staff will be selling NorCal and Voorhies Plugs for this year as neither builder was able to attend in person this year due to conflicts 
• GRS (Big Water Pikies) is asking those who attend his booth to please wear a mask as he has health concerns.  Masks will be at his table for those who wish to attend his booth.  

• There will be numerous raffle opportunities held for various items, plugs, reels, rods, and more for those who come into the retail store.  Some will be free and some will be silent auctions to benefit_________
